General Daendels Taking Leave of Lieutenant-Colonel Krayenhoff, Adriaan de Lelie, Egbert van Drielst, 1795 Dutch Netherlands
The French army, which had invaded the Netherlands at the request of the Dutch Patriots, had already reached Utrecht when Daendels, a Dutch general in French service, sent Krayenhoff to Amsterdam. He was to ask the city council to step aside so that a new –Patriot –government could be installed before the French arrived. The change of authority took place in Amsterdam that same evening, 18 January 1795.
